Lang Co, Vietnam: Vietnamese teenager Nguyen Anh Minh’s historic triumph in the 14th Faldo Series Asia Grand Final is the latest sign of golf’s continuing progress in the country.

Minh broke 70 in all three rounds, posting a winning total of nine-under 204 at Laguna Golf Lang Co, the home hub of the Faldo Series Asia since 2017 and a Facility Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

Sir Nick Faldo, the Faldo Series Founder and course designer of the championship venue Laguna Golf Lang Co hailed the event’s first Vietnamese winner.

Faldo said: “Minh was immense out there. It has been very hot the last week and conditions were extremely tough. So, to put on a consistent show like that was awe-inspiring. His determination and the skill and talent shown by all the competitors who took part bodes well for the junior game in Vietnam and Asia.”

Adam Calver, Director of Golf and Destination Marketing at Laguna Lang Co, said the club’s long-term status as the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final venue reflects Lang Co’s support for the junior game in Vietnam and throughout Asia.

Calver said: “It’s fantastic to see a Vietnamese champion and strong performances from other Vietnamese juniors, claiming four of the top 10 spots. The future for golf in Vietnam is looking very bright.

“The Faldo Series is widely recognised as one of the world’s most important showcases for young players.

“The future well-being of the game depends on the development of youngsters, and Asia has great potential to develop champions of the future. Therefore, we are honoured to be at the vanguard of these efforts alongside Sir Nick Faldo.”
